What is a previs?

A Previs (Previsualization) job involves creating rough animated sequences to visualize complex scenes before filming or full production begins. Previs artists use 3D software to plan camera angles, movement, and timing, helping directors and VFX teams make informed decisions. Their work ensures efficient production by identifying potential challenges early. Previs is widely used in film, TV, and games to streamline storytelling and technical execution.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a previs artist?

To excel as a Previs artist, you need strong skills in 3D animation, visual storytelling, and cinematography principles, usually supported by a background in film, animation, or a related creative field. Proficiency in tools like Autodesk Maya, Adobe After Effects, and other visualization software is commonly required. Excellent communication, adaptability, and problem-solving abilities set standout candidates apart in collaborative and fast-paced production environments. These skills ensure that complex sequences are accurately visualized and communicated effectively within the filmmaking or game development pipeline.

What are the main challenges faced by previs artists in their day-to-day work?

Previs artists often work under tight deadlines and must quickly adapt to changes in the director’s vision or script revisions, which can require frequent iterations of their work. They need to balance creative input with technical constraints, ensuring that their visualizations are both imaginative and achievable within production resources. Collaboration is key, as Previs artists regularly interact with directors, cinematographers, VFX teams, and other departments to align on the director’s intent and overall story. This dynamic and fast-paced workflow can be challenging, but it also offers opportunities for creative problem-solving and direct influence on the final visual narrative.

How much does a previs artist make?

Previs artists typically earn between $50,000 and $100,000 annually, depending on experience, location, and industry sector. Entry-level artists may start at lower salaries, while experienced professionals with strong skills in animation and visualization tools can earn higher wages.

How to become a previs artist?

To become a previs artist, develop skills in 3D modeling, animation, and storytelling using tools like Maya, Blender, or Unreal Engine. A background in film, animation, or visual effects, along with a strong portfolio demonstrating your work, is essential; some roles also require knowledge of scripting and collaboration in a team environment.

Summary of Position
Lionsgate is seeking a creative-technology leader to define and advance the practical use of AI across content creation, VFX, production, and post-production.

The Director will sit at the intersection of creative practice, production technology, and applied AI. They will partner closely with filmmakers, artists, production and post teams, technology leaders, and external innovators to identify valuable use cases, guide pilots through real-world validation, and establish the standards, partnerships, and change-management approach required for adoption. The role will manage the Associate Manager, AI Strategy & Creative Technology and serve as an essential counterpart to VP AI Solutions, ensuring creative-production needs inform the company's broader AI product roadmap.
Responsibilities
  • Set the creative AI and production-technology roadmap across creative development, VFX, virtual production, editorial, post-production, marketing asset creation, and adjacent workflows.
  • Identify, prioritize, and lead AI pilots that address real creative and production needs, balancing artistic quality, workflow fit, business value, rights considerations, and operational readiness.
  • Design and validate artist-facing tools and multimodal workflows using image, video, audio, and language models, with a focus on improving ideation, visualization, previs, asset development, editorial, and post-production processes.
  • Partner directly with artists, filmmakers, VFX supervisors, production executives, editors, post-production teams, and creative vendors to understand pain points, test solutions in context, and drive practical adoption.
  • Establish scalable pipeline patterns for AI-assisted creative work, including workflow documentation, quality controls, versioning, review and approval practices, metadata, provenance, and handoffs between creative and technical teams.
  • Guide the transition from promising experiment to production-ready workflow, coordinating with Technology, Security, Legal, Business Affairs, Data, and external partners to address integration, rights, security, and support requirements.
  • Work in close partnership with the Internal AI Product Builder to define shared platform, automation, data, and integration needs while maintaining clear ownership of creative-production tooling and pipeline priorities.
  • Lead and develop the Associate Manager, AI Strategy & Creative Technology; set priorities, create growth opportunities, and leverage their research, tool-evaluation, and enablement work to support the team's roadmap.
  • Maintain an active view of the creative AI ecosystem, evaluating startups, vendors, artists, researchers, and emerging production practices; cultivate strategic relationships that expand Lionsgate's capabilities.
  • Represent the AI office in senior creative and production forums, communicating technical possibilities, limitations, risks, and recommended decisions in language that supports confident action.

Qualifications and Skills
  • 8+ years of experience in film, television, VFX, animation, post-production, virtual production, creative technology, or a closely related media-production field.
  • Demonstrated experience developing, implementing, or leading technology-enabled workflows for artists, production teams, VFX, editorial, or post-production teams.
  • Deep practical fluency with generative AI and multimodal tools, including image, video, audio, and language models, and an ability to assess their creative quality, technical limitations, and production implications.
  • Working knowledge of production and post-production pipelines, including how assets, editorial, review, approvals, vendors, and delivery requirements interact across a production lifecycle.
  • A track record of moving emerging technology from experimentation into durable, adopted workflows while maintaining creative trust and respect for craft.
  • Strong people leadership, stakeholder-management, and communication skills; able to guide cross-functional work and explain complex technology clearly to both creative and executive audiences.

Nice to Haves
  • Hands-on experience with node-based or visual AI workflows, creative coding, custom tool development, APIs, cloud compute, or model-evaluation pipelines.
  • Experience with VFX, animation, virtual production, game-engine, DCC, or production-management ecosystems.
  • Experience working with generative-AI vendors, startups, artist collectives, research organizations, or production partners.
  • Familiarity with intellectual-property, performer, rights, privacy, security, and labor considerations relevant to AI-enabled media workflows.
  • Experience building new capabilities within a large studio, production company, or other complex creative organization.

What Success Looks Like
  • Creative and production teams have trusted, well-supported AI workflows that improve quality, speed, or creative possibility without disrupting essential craft and approval processes.
  • High-value pilots are evaluated with real users and have a clear path to adoption, production support, or a well-informed decision not to proceed.
  • Artists and production stakeholders have a clear partner who can translate between creative intent, technical possibility, and practical workflow design.
  • The creative AI roadmap and the Internal AI Product Builder's roadmap reinforce one another, reducing duplicated effort and accelerating useful shared capabilities.
